Tell Me About Yourself
Dear recruiters, please refrain from asking this question to a person who has clinical depression if you’re not going to care.
It is an honest request to whoever person reading this. It’s difficult as is. Not like you’d care. But when a person having depression finally speaks.
NO ONE CARES.
“Most people generally don’t really want to listen. They just want to stroke their empathetic egoistical nerves, like a neck beard to earn those sweet vanity points.”
I have been in those places where instead of the other person doing what they’re supposed. Just sit there gasping by passing on unfiltered opinions without letting the other person conclude.
Rant, rant, rant… oof.
Why don't you practice empathy and listen to what they’re saying? They don't usually talk about themselves or anything for that matter. When you persuade them to let it all out.
What do you do? The direct opposite!
If they exercise the energy to communicate their hearts out.
Don’t just play the role of an empath. Be an empath. Or is it just you want to record the interview and laugh over the responses with your buddies during tea breaks?
